I received a recruitment message from Objective Paradigm titled 'Potential Shakeups at <my company>' that lied and said they had inside information that my job may be vulnerable, so I should look for new work. This was a lie, and is deeply grimy. It shows Objective Paradigm is not really concerned about their candidates: is it willing to lie to them and make them feel insecure from the very first first message. Is this really who you want as your recruiter? Seems like they fit all the worst stereotypes.

A series of phone calls and an on-site interview with the firm's leadership. The calls were mostly behaviorally based at first. As I advanced in the process, I grew to really like the leadership for the team I was referred to. I was then advanced to an on-site final round. I met with the firm's senior leadership, and one of them was a total tool. I learned later on that there was no real role for me at the company, and they were wasting my time - interviewing me IN CASE they got additional clientele, which they didn't. They then attempted to peddle me out as a contract candidate to their clients to at least try to make some money off me- which is something I told them I was explicitly against on the first call. Super unprofessional and dishonest, I told them I was no longer interested and pulled myself out of the process.
